New links in signature!

The new links are in my signature!

Viper Amaze is an Android 4.0.4 sense 4.1 even though it says 4.0 inside.

(It's the only thing that I haven't been able to fix yet besides bluetooth)

I added the Sense 5 Lock screen - Swipe it up fast or drag the icons into the ring.

if you would prefer the old lock screen I'll make a flash from recovery zip for you!

Sense 4.5 Messaging app

added tweaks in the build prop for 3g speed and GPS

Updated ALL apps as of last night! Rebuilt the Sapps file.

The ROM File has been almost completely stripped out and runs without the Sapps file,

But this is sense so why not put it all back in. Just uninstall the apps you don't want! I'm still learning how to build

an Aroma installer.

Everything should work except anything related to BLUETOOTH,

NFC (i included a possible fix for nfc but haven't tried it yet)

HTC Stock FM radio app (Spirit free is included thanks to mikeredis check out his thread link in my signature for updates)

Note*** If you turn Bluetooth on - turn it off and do a full reboot or else it will drain your battery.

have fun with it and hopefully see y'all in the Development thread soon!

The color is different on the icon. it supports more smilies and some other stuff. I've been using it without issue.

Do you like the new lockscreen? or the old one? I'm trying to take a screen shot of it but I don't know how...

Oh and the camcorder button works for the power button to wake it.but will force close after it has woke up.
[HTC Amaze 4G] ravike14:
Thanks a lot for the info by dev thread I expected the same I mean a small description bout what works and not :) ill give it a try aswell :) good luck with all the work all amaze users eyes are fixed on you by now :good: suprise us all once again good work :D a few screen shots wont hurt :D
[HTC Amaze 4G] ccbm3:
I do like it. At first i couldn't figure out how to unlock but then I saw the ring on the bottom. I love the time and date location.

Camcorder button has always been working for me.

Btw swipe doesn't work. It force closes all the time. Had to un install and reboot for it to stop giving me the fc.

Here you go :)
[HTC Amaze 4G] chevycowboyusa:
You have to go into settings, language and keyboard and turn on Swype.
[HTC Amaze 4G] ccbm3:
That was my first response to the FC. It has htc ime off and under its the swype settings. Any instance of it running causes an FC.

You mentioned that everything but Bluetooth works. Does this include wifi tether?
[HTC Amaze 4G] chevycowboyusa:
How did you...

how did you get the screenshot of the lockscreen??? I'm still scratching my head.
[HTC Amaze 4G] daorderdillon:
Is the volume still loud as the nightmare sense
[HTC Amaze 4G] chevycowboyusa:
Swype

Yes, that includes wifi tether.

I apologize about the Swype, I'm not sure but it might be specific to just my device...

Swype has a beta test page here if y'all want to download it...

[HTC Amaze 4G] ccbm3:
Used screenshot it on a timer:D

Sweet thanks

Use volume + to get it to increase
[HTC Amaze 4G] chevycowboyusa:
Volume

Yes, my ringtone volume is annoyingly loud! as with the other volumes...

But not too loud as to damage your speaker...

If you prefer the old lockscreen let me know and I'll post a flashable zip,

or you can pull the lockscreen app from an older ViperA rom (system/app) and paste it in the /system/app folder and reboot.
[HTC Amaze 4G] scrubsja:
Chevy, the phone keeps re-booting when I plug in my headset. Can you please double check? Thanks
[HTC Amaze 4G] chevycowboyusa:
Sure. I'm at a Dr's appointment right now.

It might be a problem with the beats audio.
[HTC Amaze 4G] daorderdillon:
NOPE VOLUME IS VERY LOW
[HTC Amaze 4G] chevycowboyusa:
Which volume? The main speaker?

I'll pull up the config file and make a flashable zip for a tweak when I get home.

I also missed the calendar so I'll make a small update zip.

Swype Beta 1.4/Keyboard

I'm getting a constant FC of Swype, and the keyboard won't even come up. :/ Thanks for all of the fixes you've already done though! I just think that Swype is device specific. :)
[HTC Amaze 4G] chevycowboyusa:
Swype

Sorry about that.. I thought it might work.. (funny, it works on mine...)

Lol

I have a few keyboards that I'll put in that work.
[HTC Amaze 4G] NJROX1112:
Keyboard

Ok, Thanks! Any kind of timeline for a release? I really hate to ask that, cause I don't want to make you feel rushed in any way, but the rom is kinda unusable for me until then. I tried installing a new keyboard, but to no avail. Thanks again!
[HTC Amaze 4G] Brooklyn8807:

[HTC Amaze 4G] chevycowboyusa:
Lol. Funny thing is that there IS a working fm radio app in the Rom. It's just takes some working with it. I think you have to have the headphones plugged in before you start it.

I'm trying to get some alone time to fiddle with the update that was just out.

I'm hoping some of those files might get us Bluetooth.
[HTC Amaze 4G] tburns21:
Couple of question about flashing the ROM:

I saw from the development thread to flash the zip, then the keyboard fix, then the build.prop

Do you still need to flash the sapps?

Also, how do you unzip the ap file and install them?

Chevy said unzip it and find it in the downloads folder and then use installer to install the apps you select . . .can someone give more specific instructions?

Appreciate the help.

I am getting an error trying to sync my google account - specifically the calendar. It forces close the calendar and it says I have no google acount synced.

I am assuming it has to do with coming from CM10 and the gapps from that ROM.
[HTC Amaze 4G] chevycowboyusa:
Did you restore your data partition from a backup?

There is now more sapps with this build.

All the extras are in the extras.zip its all stuff you can download from the market. But very use full apps.

They aren't required either.
[HTC Amaze 4G] tburns21:
I restored with titanium an did a app+ data restore and went through and unchecked items I thought would conflict.

Everything is working except my google account calendar. When I open the 3rd party calendar it says no calendar selected. When I go into the HTC calendar it is completely blank.

Also, can you give me the steps to getting the extras.zip apps loaded?

Appreciate the help.
[HTC Amaze 4G] chevycowboyusa:
Download the extras zip file.

Use the es file explorer and find it on your sdcard. If you tap on the file it will pop up a zip explorer use that to extract the contents to your sdcard. Exit out of that and go into your app drawer. You'll find the app installer program. The icon looks like a CD. Run the app installer and it will search your device for apps to install. Click on the ones you want.then select install.
[HTC Amaze 4G] tburns21:
Thanks Chevy. A post showed it being unzipped in recovery and couldnt figure it out but got it working.

Any thoughts on getting my google account to sync? Appreciate the help.
[HTC Amaze 4G] chevycowboyusa:
Google calendar

We'll i don't use it much. But I did play with it just now and mine syncs without issue.

Double check that your settings are correct in the settings/accounts & sync/google/sync calendar and is checked.

It could also be corrected by going into settings/apps/all apps/ find calendar and click on it. then touch clear data.
[HTC Amaze 4G] tburns21:
I went into settings/accounts and sync and removed the account and reinstalled it - no change.

There is an error by the calendar sync and a message pops up at the bottom and says "sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly." Interestingly, everything syncs except for the calendar.

I also tried to sync an exchange account to work around the google calendar sync and got the same error.

Any thoughts?
[HTC Amaze 4G] chevycowboyusa:
I don't know for sure. I'll try playing with it some more.

I've been re porting from the latest ota. Trying a few things.

I've successfully made it hang on the boot several times now... :(
[HTC Amaze 4G] tburns21:
I got the calendar to work by wipeing and reinstalling. . .then updating through playstore rather than titanium. . . very slow.

When I receive vcards (contacts) from people by text - it comes across as a text instead of a file that I can import.

This happened on CM10 as well . . .is it a phone setting somewhere?

great job man thanks for your support for this rom hope BT issue will be resolve quickly :victory:
[HTC Amaze 4G] chevycowboyusa:

[HTC Amaze 4G] S_O_B:
I am probably posting this in the wrong place, but what can you expect from a noob. I am very new to unlocking phones and just as new to the forums so I can't post in the developers section. First off I want to say this rom looks amazing. I tried quite a few in my limited time here and this one is absolutely stunning.

One thing I noticed is the battery indicator does not seem to be accurate. It stays at 100% for a very long time and when it finally starts to drop it is way off from what recovery says I have. Example, right now recovery says I have 74% but the battery indicator in the rom says I have 91%. I completely drained the battery yesterday, recharged to 100% while the phone was off, and then wiped the battery stats in 4ext and it is still off. Its not a big deal and the indicator does get closer to accurate readings when the battery is around 20%. I did use the Viper hub to change the notification bar theme so I'm not sure if that has anything to do with it. But when I put it back to stock it is still off.
[HTC Amaze 4G] chevycowboyusa:
Yes this is an appropriate place for this post.

To answer your question. There is a battery calibration app included in the Rom. Look in the app drawer and run the app . Out gives you directions on how to use it. Once calibrated out will work correctly.
[HTC Amaze 4G] S_O_B:
What is the app called because I don't see one?

2 things to try:

Go to the running tab of manage apps and see if anything is stuck with a status of "Restarting". Media service is known for this and kills the battery when it happens. Kill the service or reboot the phone to fix (untill it gets stuck again).

If that's not it or doesn't help there's always Juice Defender. Best $5 I spent on the phone. Was getting 3+ days with cm10 on a charge with light-ish use.
[HTC Amaze 4G] chevycowboyusa:
I've got and use JD. I wanted to give the room a run for the money and see what it would do without too many tweaks...

My phone spends a lot of time searching for signal since i work at a power plant and have nothing but interference. And being next to an airport they won't or can't put a cell tower closer...

I'll check the restarting and see what i find...

Thanks!
[HTC Amaze 4G] wolf_7669:
Having the radios on in a no signal area does eat up a lot of power from the phone constantly being in search or signal mode. Airplane mode at work may do the trick too.
[HTC Amaze 4G] iKilla:
Ohh yea I fail to mention. I disable MAPS maybe the reason, I have a good battery life.
[HTC Amaze 4G] chevycowboyusa:
Reinstalled.....

Ok, I went back and rewiped and flashed. This time I chose update (sync) manually instead of automatic. Big improvement!

I went thru the venom tweaks and set the CPU govenor to powersave. two hours in still at 99%

I have noticed a slight lag when pressing the power button to turn the screen on. I don't know if thats because of the govenor settings, maybe my phone is finally getting some DEEP sleep??

I really like the app installer app. Damn that thing saves some time from redownloading titanium or having to reflash the backup zip i made for it! Just keep your apps up to date and it's easier than TB for quickly installing from first run after flashing the rom!

I've been running this rom ragged and haven't found any other bugs than what's been previously been posted.

I turned off mobile data while i'm inside the big metal building.

I get the slight power button lag with CPU govenor set on conservative too. I concur the installer app is awsome and saved a lot of time.

The Venom Hub is neat too. Found that they had the same circle battery indicator available that Xborder56 used on his Bulletproof rom. Loved that battery indicator, now I finally have it back!
[HTC Amaze 4G] chevycowboyusa:
Venom Hub

I'll have to check it out when I can get a good signal..

I have my govenor set to power saving today.. tomorrow I'll change it to something that'll attemp to drain the battery very fast.

[HTC Amaze 4G] chevycowboyusa:
Zip align

Hey Ziggy, Anything you can think of to make it lighter and faster.... Do it! :)

Zip away!!!!
[HTC Amaze 4G] wolf_7669:
Yes, it's still fast using other govenor settings. Just the slight delay in waking the screen is all we've noticed.

Also noticed one other thing. With screen off, pressing the camera button does not wake the phone. But if you press the camcorder button with the screen off, it does wake the phone. Once the screen is on, pressing the camcorder button does nothing and pressing the camera button launches the camera normally.

BTW, I'm loving the WiFi radio this rom is running. It connects almost instantly to both my home and work networks. Since I updated to ICS (stock, other roms, and even CM10), WiFi networks would take almost 2 minutes to be seen and connect (especially the home network).
[HTC Amaze 4G] ziggy46:
haha zipaligning cut the zip by like 200mb :) (should decrease ram usage as well)

i forget where the post is, but theres a keylayout file that i can edit to fix the camera keys. im going to try and fix the wakeup lag if possible too
[HTC Amaze 4G] lamortcroix:
Is there a downside to zipaligning ? And also, on the old viper ROM I had trouble with keeping the ext SD card mounted? Is anyone having that with this Rom?

[HTC Amaze 4G] wolf_7669:
Yea that is weird. The only thing I can think of to try is wiping just davik and cache and re-flash the rom. Hopefully that will overwrite whatever is out of whack and you won't have to start fresh.

Had horrible battery life the first time I tried CM10. Went back to speedrom for awhile and then came back to CM10. It was the same version as last time but for whatever reason battery life was normal after flashing it the 2nd time.

Barring that, it may be time to go "scorched earth" and wipe all, flash stock ICS, wipe all again, flash Viper. Had to do this once when data wouldn't work after flashing a rom.
